Stock Price Screener: Set Your Price Range
Build a stock screener around your preferred price range with ChartsWatcher. Filter current stock prices and combine them with activity and movement.
Understand the metric
What is Price ($)?
The price filter uses the current price of a ticker. It is a direct way to define a stock-price universe before adding more specialized conditions such as volume, volatility or news. Unlike a company-size measure, share price alone does not account for the number of shares outstanding, so it should not be treated as market capitalization.
An illustrative example
Price ($) in practice
A range from $5 to $20 includes a current price of $12 and excludes $3 or $45. Two included stocks may still have very different floats, market caps and daily activity. The condition defines a price band, rather than making those other characteristics equivalent.
Make it part of your workflow
A more deliberate stock screen.
Use price as a starting condition in ChartsWatcher, then add the feature that matches your investigation: relative volume for unusual activity, ATRP for percentage volatility or recent news for event context. The combined screen keeps the resulting charts within a consistent quoted-price range.
ChartsWatcher lets you combine this filter with other criteria in a toplist and rank the results by the columns you care about. Keep the shortlist beside charts, stock news, and watchlists in your own layout.

A little more detail.
How do I add Price ($) in ChartsWatcher?
Open or create a toplist and add Price ($) to its filter configuration. Choose the available options and the bounds that fit your screen. Combine it with other metrics to narrow the results. Filters can also refine which stocks qualify for an alert.
What should I check when interpreting this filter?
A low share price does not mean a company has a low valuation or small market cap. Price alone also says little about participation or spread.
From an idea to your own scan.
Use Price ($) with the other conditions that define your setup. Keep matching stocks, charts, and news together, with a configuration you can refine as you go.
